History

Founded in 1890

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

County No. 7, which became Beaver, was created in 1890 in Oklahoma Territory by proclamation of the Territorial Governor, covering all of the Oklahoma panhandle, also known as the Public Land Strip or No Man's Land. In 1907, Beaver became a county in the state of Oklahoma, losing territory to the creation of Cimarron and Texas counties.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
